| Summary: | The objectives of the study are to: a)
increase understanding of the effects and effectiveness of
the implementation of the local government reform launched
in 2006; and b) assess the impact of a World Bank-supported
intervention that aimed to enhance effectiveness of the
reforms by increasing local capacity and local
participation. In line with these objectives, the study
assessed the perceived effects and effectiveness of the
implementation of the local government reform in selected
provinces. The study also constitutes a baseline to allow
for on-going assessment of progress and to inform corrective
policy actions. The instruments and methods created during
the study may be used in future assessments of the dynamics
of local governance reform. These effects are reviewed in
section two. The study also carried out a rigorous
evaluation of the impact of an operational intervention
carried out with World Bank support in the three regions of
the study. This grant-funded project was aimed at increasing
the effectiveness of participation of rural citizens in
public life and increasing the capacity of local
administrations to operate in the new legal and fiscal
environment created by the decentralization reform. The
summary of the impact evaluation can be found in section three. |
